Worth the early morning!
Nigel coming home with 2 wins at the combined training, winning them both by a country mile! He's not been jumping since August, and he'd only just started then. Can't fault his honesty and how hard he tries.
His dressage was pretty much foot perfect with over 70% in each test.
Got to love him! Thank you to his lovely family for taking us out today ❤️

John thinks he has wings! His first round of jumps last weekend and what a star, coping with a very busy warm up full of ponies cantering around and he took it all in his stride.
He didn't hesitate at a single fence and kept his concentration so much better.
Now to work on is rhythm and balance a little more and he will be cracking!!

15.2hh petite gelding 10 year old
Only started ridden work this year, schooling lightly on flat and has jumped some fences. He has put in the odd buck but this was due to the saddle not fitting correctly. Can be tense but he's never been nasty.
He has hacked out in company and needs a confident rider on his own. Good in traffic.
He is good on the ground, good to load. Good for farrier, currently barefoot.
He does appreciate a treat when catching from the field. He does prefer to live out but he is currently stabled overnight.
Love him to find the right home where he can thrive and learn, or just be a pet. He would also be a great companion horse.
Happy to discuss anything further to genuinely interested people.

Someone had to like the rain I guess!
Denny thought he could drink from the new water feature as it was closer than the trough and then there's John... big clown!!
Who else is looking forward to winter ?! 😫

Little trip out for 'Just call me John'
We went and did a dressage test, the goal was to stay on and stay in the arena, and if possible complete the test. All goals achieved and more.
He settled really well in the warm up, he just missed his friends when he went in to do his test, so called to them a lot so they knew where he was 😅
He had some really lovely moments, and a lot to look forward to in the future. 😍 no one tell John he was 3rd out of 3. He just wanted his first ribbon. ☺️🥉

Today we dropped this lovely boy back home to his mum, after a really great show season, where he went from strength to strength.
He's been a pleasure to train, with a lovely owner, who trusted us completely with his education.
We hope you can go and enjoy him now!
Happy horse. Happy owner. Happy me 😍💙🧡
Thank you Lilly 🧡

Love him finishing well within the top 10 at the Trailblazers Championships Novice warm up day. Putting in an 'elegant and harmonious' test, who knew we could be elegant, judges words not mine 😉
Back for more fun tomorrow

Super pleased with Nigel, who grew in confidence over the 3 days
Started out on Friday not liking the second fence and elimination on the warm up day. Jumping is very new to him.
Day 1 : pulled off a super dressage test, and to complete the showjumping phase but with time faults, from checking the jumps wouldn't eat him before jumping.
Day 2: an even better dressage test on 72% and a super clear round that was forward and confident!
And finishing 2nd!!! 🥈
What a turnaround in a few days!
A lovely boy that grew from strength to strength! Super proud of us and what we achieved 🙌
Thank you to Helen and Sandra for allowing me to ride and train him, it's a pleasure when you can get the results from the hard work put in. 💙

We had fun at addington on Sunday, although the showing judges didn't love him, we love him dearly, and he always tries his hardest.
It's was all education for him and showing him addington before the dressage champs in a few weeks time. 🧡💙

Scott on winning form at spotfest! Also taking ridden champion 😍❤️
Thank you Lilly for letting me ride him, he did also get to meet his new sister which he thought was very exciting... her not so much, her big brother is scary!

With horses on the wait list to come in, it's time to move this little boy on to the next part of his journey. The right home is very important for this little man.
15.2hh 10 year old gelding
Tb x wb
Although he is 10, he is green but honest.
He really enjoys hacking out in company and even taking the lead on the roads, not overly faced by traffic.
He has great ground manners and would do well doing liberty or natural horsemanship as well as being a general riding horse in time. He long reins nicely and leads from other horses.
So I would love to find him a home where he can carry on learning in a way that he finds fun.

Very lucky to have had the ride on this lovely 6 year old Scott, on his first ridden show at Royal Windsor Horse Show. He behaved impeccably throughout and gave it his all for his a top 5 placing in the ridden and only his 3rd ridden show!! What a star, you can't ask for more.
Thank you Lilly for trusting me with him!
Guess who's back! 😍
Rio at combined training, doing a good dressage getting 68% and flying the show jumps for 3rd place 💙🧡💙

RLS Equine & Canine Services is run by Rachel, who specialises in the training of horses both at your yard and our own. Also she is a mad lover of dogs, and also works part time at a dog day care centre near Banbury.
Rachel owns 4 horses of which have all been produced by herself, from young unbroken horses to nice riding horses.
Rio is a WPB x Dutch Warmblood 11 year old chestnut mare, i bought her as an unbroken horse with all the plans to produce and sell on but once i jumped her i knew she was never going anywhere! She has since competed up to fox hunter level show jumping (1.20m)
Cassie is a 7 year old Warmblood by Cevin Z. She was backed and broken as a 4 year old, and was given lots of time to mature (as she is a big horse) but unfortunately she was diagnosed last year(2019) with OCD in her stifles. She had an operation in Nov (2019) and is now on the long rehabilitation road... (please follow this page for updates on her progress)
Flicker is a 7 year old Warmblood by Unbelievable Darco. I had him to break in as a late 4 year old for a client of mine who then wanted to sell him, i had fallen in love with his easy going nature and bought him for myself. he was lightly competed as a 5 year old and has since been given time to mature.
Joanna is a 18 year old ID x TB mare who i bought as a 6 year old as my first horse, she took me through all the levels at PC and started by BS love. She is currently out on loan. But will always have a home with us if she ever decides to come home.
Rachel also owns 2 dogs, one a Springer spaniel who was bred by her parents and given to her on her 21st birthday and a rescue dog from Romania who arrived with us in 2017. They a both great dogs with completely different personality's and struggles, my rescue dog especially who had trust issues to begin with. He is a happy dog although still can be weary of other dogs and people which isn't surprising when you were abandoned on the streets.
We also have some pet sheep, so don’t be surprised to see the odd sheep/lamb photo!
I hope to keep you up to date with my horses and client horses....
